had a clsoe accident today, coming down an entry road onto the A2 (dartford) when 50 metres into my ride filtering down the outside of trafic, a car decides his had enougth and turns round just like that, i had to brake pretty harshly but the fact that he didn't indicate made it worse.

Car drivers are completely blind and rely on a special 6th sense that only detects other cages, Did younotknow everythign else on the roads (signs/lights/markings etc) is purely for bikers use?

I always looks out for bikes and if in slow traffic and see one coming move right over to let the biker past I normally get a nice nod saying thanks from them. Some people though just dont even look I saw a bike coming the other day and this BMW driver in front was driving on the white line between the 3rd and 2nd lane i was like wtf are you doing!!! I ended up beeping him cause he made me angry that he was doing this so the biker could not get pasted.

Since becoming a rider I am now always checking the filter "lane" in slow traffic to make sure there are no bikes trying to get past and also keeps my eyes peeled all the times alot more than I use too

I've been saying for years, make them ride a bike before getting a car licence.

There must be plenty of bikers that don't look though! A couple of times I've been buzzing down the A3 in the outside lane to find a biker come across the front of me without indicating or looking. I wonder if it's the same biker.

They'll probably learn to look at about the same time bikers learn consideration for their four wheeled chums.

Since when did a point need to apply for it to be mentioned on BCF? Laughing
